In 2008 Prof Falzon took up the Chair of Aerospace Engineering in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Monash University. Prof Falzon's research interests include the development of robust finite-element algorithms for predicting the response of highly non-linear structures, fracture mechanics and damage in composites, structural optimisation, the dynamic response of composite structures to impact loading, structural testing, the development of virtual testing environments and more recently, the design of medical implants and modelling biomechanical systems. Prof Falzon is currently establishing an Advanced Aerostructures Research Laboratory for the manufacturing and testing of composite structures.

He is a Chartered Engineer and a member of a number of professional organisations and scientific committees. Prof Falzon is on the editorial board of the Applied Composites Material Journal and World Scientific Press and member of the board of directors of the Australian Association of Aviation and Aerospace Industries. He has received numerous awards, most recently the 2007 Silver Award and George Taylor prize from the Royal Aeronautical Society and a 2008 Future Summit Australian Leadership Award.
