Van Huele holds a Master in Engineering: Operations Research (2007-2009) and a PhD from Ghent University, with doctoral work on mathematical modelling for healthcare applications focused on optimising physician and surgery scheduling. He built Solvice's first solution for a large university hospital in Leuven, then co-founded the company with Kenny Helsens in 2015 to package combinatorial optimisation and machine learning behind developer-friendly APIs.
