About Paris Choi

Hello! I’m a Philosophy and Psychology student at Durham University, with academic interests in applied ethics, decision-making, and political philosophy. My broader aim is to use interdisciplinary research to drive measurable, socially meaningful change.

My current research explores barriers to public transport adoption, with a view toward long-term policy implementation. This project brings together behavioural science, psychology, urban planning, and economics to contribute to more sustainable and inclusive transport policies.

Professionally, I’m drawn to fields like consulting, public policy, and tech ethics - all spaces where rigorous thinking and real-world impact intersect. Whether through research or leadership, I hope to influence systems that improve people's lives.

Outside of academics, I enjoy music, concerts, and learning languages, and occasionally (but unfortunately) philosophising.
