By Birgit Baustädter - Reinhard Posch is not only the co-founder of computer science at TU Graz, he has also been Chief Information Officer of the federal government for years and gives advice on IT matters and security. Reinhard Posch sits with a blank notepad and black ball-point in his hands at the conference table in his office at TU Graz's Campus Inffeldgasse. On the first page he has made small doodles in blue ink - not exactly what you would expect from a high-ranking computer science expert. The content of the interview, however, points in a direction which hints at the extensive knowledge, the various professional stations and the enthusiasm of this man. News+Stories: What led you to TU Graz?. Reinhard Posch: I've been here for ages (laughs). I studied mechanical engineering here because at that time in Graz there wasn't even a mathematics study programme.
