She received her Ph.D. degree from the Department of Electrical Engineering (ESAT-STADIUS) of KU Leuven in 2015. In 2015 she got a KU Leuven postdoctoral mandate and in 2016 a postdoctoral fellowship from the Research Foundation – Flanders (FWO), Belgium. During spring 2016, she was a visiting researcher at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), and in spring 2017 she was an invited researcher at the University of Zaragoza, Spain.

She was a visiting assistant professor in the Signal Processing Systems group (SPS) of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science at Delft University of Technology. Her research interests include machine learning, (biomedical) signal processing, wearable technology, and network physiology. Carolina Varon has been the project leader of an IMEC SBO (type B-project), and the sub-project leader of an STW-IWT bilateral agreement project. She is a review Editor on the Editorial Board of Autonomic Neuroscience, part of the journal Frontiers in Neurology, Frontiers in Neuroscience and Frontiers in Physiology. She has been a member of the program committee of the Computing in Cardiology conference since 2017, and she is a member of the scientific committee of the 11th conference of the European Study Group on Cardiovascular Oscillations (ESGCO) 2020.
