Abstract: My talk will include two parts. 

Part I.

People are willing to create and share content about themselves and others on online platforms. When multiple entities start distributing content without a control, information can reach unintended individuals and inference can reveal more information about the user. During my talk, I will first discuss how to preserve the privacy of the users in Online Social Networks (OSNs) by (i) detecting privacy violations that take place in OSNs, (ii) preventing privacy violations before they would occur. I will talk about how argumentation-based systems can be useful in explaining privacy decisions. Finally, I will propose my future plans. 

Part II. 

Before joining the School, I was a Research Associate at King’s College London. My focus was on making use of argumentation for making and explaining decisions in the context of healthcare. I will give a brief overview of this project.
