Dr. Öjefors received his Ph.D. in microwave technology from Uppsala University, in Uppsala, Sweden in 2006.  He completed his M.Sc in engineering physics, also from Uppsala University, in 2000.

In 2007, he joined the Institute of High-Frequency and Quantum Electronics, University of Siegen, Siegen, Germany where his research involved 94-GHz SiGe-HBT circuits and THz CMOS detectors.

From 2008 to 2011, he worked at the Institute for High-frequency and Communication Technology at the University of Wuppertal, in Wuppertal, Germany. His main research contributions were in the field of mmWave and terahertz circuits using SiGe-HBT and CMOS technologies.

Dr. Öjefors was the co-recipient of the 2007 IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S) R. W. P. King Award, the 2008 EuMIC Best Paper Award, and the 2010 EuMC Microwave Prize.
