In science, Libb Thims is an American chemical engineer, electrical engineer, thermodynamicist, known for the publication of the 2007 textbook Human Chemistry, the first of its kind to outline the fundamentals of matching humans in relationships, in general sense and through online pair connections. [1] Thims is founder and CEO of the developmental beta-stage, science-based pair-matching site ReactionMatch, a dating situated on the premise of matching people in "love the chemical reaction", based on the human elective affinity theories of German polymath Johann von Goethe , a dating/matching site scheduled to launch in circa 2012. [2]

YouTube's Human Chemistry 101 channel, started in 2008 by Thims, is a semi-weekly educational video series on the chemistry of human interactions, which outlines many of the basic principles of human matching in the formation of human chemical bonds.

Thims' work and research in the areas of human chemistry and human thermodynamics form much of the algorthimic basis of reaction matching, which equates to the measurement and determination of free energy compatibilities.
