George K. Thiruvathukal, PhD, department chairperson and professor of computer science in the College of Arts and Sciences at Loyola University Chicago, has published a book – his second as department chairperson – with Routledge Taylor & Francis Group, entitled “Intermediate C Programming”. 

“Congratulations to Dr. Thiruvathukal on the publication of this book, which covers a range of cutting-edge topics within the field of computer programming,” said Peter J. Schraeder, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. “He is the model of how teacher-scholars within the College of Arts and Sciences are ensuring that the next generation of Loyola graduates are prepared to make an impact within their respective fields, in this case computer programming.”  

 “The C programming language remains of vital importance to modern topics such as cybersecurity, computer systems, computer engineering, and scientific computing,” noted Thiruvathukal, who is also one of the core members of Loyola’s cybersecurity program. “Most systems programs and the operating system are written in the C family of languages (e.g. C, C++, Java, C#) and having good books for learning the C family and modern practices are essential.”
