An education publisher, set on cream.

Harvey Tian 田世豪 Founder & Editor-in-Chief

Tian2 is edited by Harvey Tian (田世豪) — a physicist by training and an editor by temperament. His research background is in computational plasma physics, built through a doctorate at Cornell and work with the Sandia and Argonne national laboratories, where he simulated the fierce, fast physics of Z-pinch plasmas and learned what every page here still assumes: a hard idea yields only to patience and a clean derivation.

That habit became a publishing house. Tian2 reads the world's most demanding science competitions and research programs the way an editor reads a manuscript — for the argument underneath — then sets the answer down in full. The catalogue now runs to dozens of competition playbooks, a shelf of AP study guides, more than twenty typeset physics, astronomy, and mathematics solution volumes, and a bilingual white paper on the S.-T. Yau (丘成桐) Science Award — every page in the same palette of cream and ink.

And it became mentoring. As a research mentor and competition coach, he guides high-school students from a first question to a finished paper — for Regeneron ISEF, the Regeneron Science Talent Search, the S.-T. Yau Award, the Thermo Fisher Junior Innovators Challenge, and the major olympiads — and designs the courses that get them there, including a college-level preparation curriculum for the Princeton University Physics Competition. He works bilingually, in English and Chinese, for students, parents, and educators who want the standard kept high and the path made legible.

The belief under all of it is plain: a difficult thing, set well on the page, becomes a possible one. Nothing is hurried; the long way is always shown.
