About Paris Choi
Hello! I’m a Philosophy 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 design to contribute to more sustainable and inclusive transport policies.
Outside of Laidlaw, I enjoy music, concerts, and learning languages, and occasionally (but unfortunately) philosophising.

Research Project Proposal: "Modelling subjective barriers to public-transport adoption as a complex network"
This is the research proposal I submitted as part of my Laidlaw Leadership and Research Scholarship application. The research aims to model barriers to public transport adoption using a novel network approach, under the supervision of Dr Mike Lengieza.

Such an important project! As a former Laidlaw Scholar from India, I’ve seen how public transport can completely transform access, opportunity, and sustainability when it truly works for people.
I love that you’re focusing on subjective barriers, understanding the human experience behind the data is what makes policy recommendations meaningful and actionable. Excited to see what your network analysis uncovers and how it can inform better systems here in the UK!
Thanks so much, Asha! I'll publish the full report sometime next month, so keep an eye out
