Biography
Texas A&M University Kingsville - Chemistry
Assistant Professor at Sam Houston State University
Christopher
Hobbs, Ph.D.
Corpus Christi, Texas Area
Assistant Professor of Chemistry
Dept. of Chemistry
Texas A&M University-Kingsville
Research experience:
(2006-2011) Department of Chemistry, Texas A&M Univ.
Advisor: Prof. David E. Bergbreiter; Graduate
Research Assistant
The use of soluble polyolefins as supports for
homogeneous catalysis
Preparation and functionalization of soluble
polymeric ligands
Designed polymer-supported chiral salen
ligand/metal complexes
Prepared polymer-supported ring-closing
metathesis catalyst

of “greener” catalysts
(2002-2006) Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry,
Angelo State University
Advisor: Prof. Donna K. Howell, Undergraduate
Research Assistant
Synthesis and characterization of thiophene-
containing macrocycles
Exploration of ligands for possible DMSO
reductase mimics
Specialties: Dr. Hobbs' specialty lies at the point where organic, synthetic, organometallic, polymer and green chemistry meet. His research experience has been in the use of soluble polymers as supports for transition metal catalysts for the development of recoverable/reusable homogeneous catalysts.
