Lăcrămioara (Lăcră) Pavel (born 1965) is a Romanian and Canadian game theorist and electrical engineer whose research applies game theory to network controllability for communications networks and transport networks. She is a professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Toronto.
Education and career
Pavel graduated from the Gheorghe Asachi Technical University of Iași in Romania in 1989. She received a Ph.D. in electrical engineering in 1996, from Queen's University at Kingston in Ontario, Canada.
She was a postdoctoral researcher for National Research Council Canada and then worked in industry before returning to academia in 2002, as a faculty member at the University of Toronto. She was promoted to full professor in 2013.
Book
Pavel is the author of the book Game Theory for Control of Optical Networks (Birkhäuser, 2012).
