(1962 - ) Age 51

American inventor, entrepreneur, industrial designer and educator.

Originally trained as a climate scientist, much of the focus of his work has been on developing innovative technologies, innovation strategies and entrepreneurial mechanisms to address climate change and related issues of sustainable development. He works both as a practitioner and as an educator. As an educator, he has focused on the development and delivery of curriculum for developing innovation and entrepreneurial skills for both students and faculty, and mentored the development of numerous ventures and initiatives. He has founded several companies, NGO’s and initiatives, including the ecotrek company (a pioneering use of recycled polymer materials in high-performance products), Qteros, a pioneering cellulosic biofuels company, and NGO “Community Vision”, which worked with rural US communities on land-use planning and design.

As an inventor and designer, he is named on numerous patents ranging from structural engineering to microbial genomics. Fabel's work is held in the collection of several museums, including the Smithsonian. He was a featured inventor in the "Invention at Play" exhibit that ran for a decade at the National Museum of American History. He was featured in author Daniel Pink’s “A Whole New Mind”. He is also a featured inventor in the new “Invention” Merit Badge publication of the Boy Scouts of America. Fabel and his work have been widely featured in the media.

He has contributed to the design and development of many products. He is a 2-time recipient of Backpacker Magazine’s “Editor’s Choice” award. Recent work includes founding the bicycle and materials development company Sylvan Cycles, which makes bicycles and other products from novel high-performance bio-composite materials. Sylvan is using bicycles as an R&D platform for scalable high-performance structural materials based on low-carbon footprint manufacturing processes.

Fabel was a student of paleo-climatologist Dr. Raymond S. Bradley while at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. Fabel also studied at the University of East Anglia, through the Climatic Research Unit  (CRU). His thesis advisors were Dr. Phil Jones and Dr. Keith Briffa.

Fabel’s undergraduate thesis investigated a novel method for using dendro-climatological methods to evaluate the impact of acid rain on forest tree growth. Fabel’s graduate thesis examined the interscale relationships between spatial patterns of natural and social systems, and implications for design and decision making.
