单瑞博士是香港中文大学（深圳）公共政策学院的助理教授。他的研究聚焦于能源转型、气候政策与可持续发展，特别关注电力市场脱碳、碳足迹分析，以及推动公平高效能源转型的政策设计。

单博士已在《Energy Policy》《Applied Energy》《Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews》《Energy and Environmental Science》等国际期刊发表二十余篇同行评审论文。他的研究融合工程、经济学与系统建模方法，评估新兴技术与政策在实现深度脱碳中的作用。同时，他也担任《Nature Energy》《Joule》等期刊的审稿人。除学术研究外，他积极参与政策咨询与企业战略制定，推动低碳发展解决方案在实践中的落地。

在加入香港中文大学（深圳）前，单博士创办了专注于可持续发展咨询的公司 Carbon Baseline，并后续担任立信咨询合伙人，领导其ESG咨询业务，服务对象包括上市公司、跨国企业与各级政府。过往代表客户包括远景能源、百事公司、旭硝子、安井食品以及多个地方政府。

他曾在美国橡树岭国家实验室任技术专家，为美国能源部提供决策支持。也曾在日内瓦的联合国环境规划署实习，参与化学品管理相关的信托基金。他最早的可持续发展行业经历始于环保桥公司，协助客户申请并出售碳减排额度。

凭借跨界经验与多学科视角，单瑞博士致力于将学术创新转化为现实影响，推动全球向碳中和与可持续发展迈进。
