That year he transitioned to chair the Solid Rockets Technical Committee. He also served from 2016 to 2018 as the Honors & Awards Director for the AIAA Greater Huntsville Section. Majdalani also served on the External Advisory Board of the Center for Simulation of Advanced Rockets,

In 2013 he was named the Auburn Alumni
Engineering Council Endowed Professor and Chair of Aerospace Engineering at Auburn University. He held this title until 2016, and then transitioned to the Hugh and Loeda Francis Chair of Excellence in Aerospace Engineering. As a part of this appointment, he has

uncovered new
Trkalian and Beltramian helical flows within cyclonic hybrid and liquid rocket engines. Majdalani also developed a generalized-scaling technique in perturbation theory for use in wave propagation. Both have been used in frameworks for modeling combustion instability in rocket systems.

In 2003 Majdalani joined the
Mechanical, Aerospace, and Biomedical Engineering faculty at the University of Tennessee Space Institute. He started as the Jack D. Whitfield Professor of High Speed Flows, and in 2007 became the Arnold Chair of Excellence. As a professor there, he was awarded the 2007

Among his research projects he has maintained collaborations with other professors as well as students, including researchers from ORBITEC, the University of Utah,

Majdalani's work focuses on the theoretical and computational modeling of solid, liquid and hybrid rockets. His investigations have explored rocket internal ballistics, vorticity dynamics, rotating cyclonic flows, computational mathematics, and singular perturbation theory. For example, his work

At Auburn
University, Majdalani served as Faculty Advisor for the AIAA Student Branch and received the 2014 Konrad Dannenberg Educator of the Year Award as well as the 2015 Faculty Advisor and the 2016 Sustained Service Awards from the AIAA Foundation.

His first faculty position was at
Marquette University, where he received tenure. He was also awarded two outstanding teaching awards, as well as grants from the National Science Foundation and NASA. In 2002 he received the
