Experience 

As Laboratory Director at Xi’an University of Posts & Telecommunications, Lei Tian leads a group focused on optoelectronic interconnection and embedded hardware–software co‑design. The team develops modeling frameworks for photoelectric conversion efficiency, designs low‑noise coupling schemes, and validates concepts through simulations and targeted prototypes. He has steered key provincial R&D programs and municipal science projects, as well as multiple State Grid engagements, delivering deployable insights for power and sensing infrastructure. Tian’s portfolio extends from novel 2D/Janus heterostructures and graphene‑based stacks to practical power‑management ICs such as high‑voltage, low‑quiescent‑current LDOs with stability‑oriented impedance buffers. He regularly collaborates with materials scientists and circuit designers to translate computed properties into embedded constraints, addressing latency, energy, thermal limits, and field robustness. Alongside publications and books, his experience includes curriculum and lab development, fostering hands‑on training that connects material innovation with firmware, drivers, diagnostics, and system bring‑up.

Research Focus

Tian’s research targets the convergence of embedded systems with novel semiconductor and 2D materials. The thrusts include first‑principles discovery of van der Waals and Janus heterojunctions optimized for hydrogen evolution and gas sensing  photoelectric conversion analysis and noise‑reduction modeling for optoelectronic coupling embedded co‑design, where device physics informs circuit topologies, firmware routines, and on‑board diagnostics; and power‑management solutions such as high‑voltage LDOs with ultra‑low quiescent current for edge instrumentation. A defining feature is the “materials‑to‑metrics” pipeline—mapping band alignments, excitonic effects, and defect physics to embedded KPIs like SNR, dynamic range, and power efficiency. This enables predictive selection of sensor stacks and control algorithms prior to fabrication, accelerating time‑to‑prototype. Recent studies on MoSSe‑based heterostructures for water splitting exemplify this approach, linking catalytic descriptors to embedded monitoring strategies and stability management for scalable, field‑ready hydrogen‑generation systems.
