01 — BACKGROUND

Hi, I'm Bimbo. I work at the intersection of applied cybersecurity, GRC and IT risk, software engineering, and AI evaluation. My computer science background supports hands-on work in risk assessment, digital evidence, OSINT, security-focused development, automated testing, and technical research.

I am an MSc Applied Cybersecurity candidate at SRH Berlin through the Erasmus Mundus CyberMACS programme. My recent work includes approved repository-level engineering tasks, TÜBİTAK-funded research, and two accepted research papers in 2026.

Research & Publications

An Empirical Study of the Privacy-Utility Trade-off in Differentially Private Classifiers

23rd Conference on Informatics and Information Technologies (CIIT), 2026Accepted

Authors: Amar Kumar Mandal, Bimbo Lawrence Damitan, Bisola Favour Adediji, Mila Dodevska, SM Dedar Alam, Zhivko Atanaskoski, Zorica Karapancheva, Vesna Dimitrova

PDF

Evaluates the privacy-utility trade-off of applying Differential Privacy (DP) to machine learning classifiers in healthcare. The study demonstrates that DP Random Forest models maintain a 15% utility advantage over Logistic Regression models under strict privacy mandates (where ε ≤ 1.0).

Hydrogen-Enabled Sector Coupling in Türkiye's Energy Transition: Integrated Modeling with GENeSYS-MOD

European Energy Market (EEM 2026)Accepted

Authors: Gokhan Kirkil, Oluremi Success Oyejide, Saiqa Dilawaiz, Bimbo Lawrence Damitan

PDF

Uses GENeSYS-MOD to examine hydrogen-enabled sector coupling in Türkiye's long-term energy transition and its connection to wider European decarbonization pathways through 2050.

Cybercrime in Nigeria: Aligning Domestic Law with International Criminal Standards through SOPs and SETA Reform

Independent Research, 2026In Progress

Read insight

An ongoing study of the operational gap between cybercrime law and enforcement in Nigeria, with a focus on reliable evidence workflows, institutional coordination, and role-specific capability building.
