In this talk, we will explore how finite element simulations can be used to provide insights into the extent which inhomogeneities affect the accuracy of standard electrical measurements of 2D materials. We will also discuss how unexpected behaviour from non-uniformity in layer number can be reproduced with these simulations, and how finite element simulations can be used to distinguish between ballistic and diffusive transport in high-quality graphene devices. </font></div><div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue;"><br></div></div><div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; margin: 0px; font-width: normal; line-height: normal;"><font face="HelveticaNeue">We warmly welcome everyone to attend the talk and the Soft Matter Coffee Break after the seminar, held in room 2.63 (2nd floor).</font></div></div><div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue;"><font face="HelveticaNeue"><br></font></div><div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue;"><div dir="auto" style="overflow-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;"><div style="margin: 0px; font-width: normal; line-height: normal;"><font face="HelveticaNeue">Maria Ekiel-Jeżewska</font></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-width: normal; line-height: normal;"><font face="HelveticaNeue">Maciej Lisicki</font></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-width: normal; line-height: normal;"><font face="HelveticaNeue">Piotr Szymczak</font></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-width: normal; line-height: normal;"><font face="HelveticaNeue">Panagiotis Theodorakis</font></div></div></div></body></html>
