Aurélie Modde

Aurélie Modde serves as a Researcher in the Department of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology and Psychotherapy at Free University of Berlin, actively contributing to the third-party funded STARK project (Spielerische Therapieunterstützung mit adaptivem Realitätsgrad für Kinder) since 2025. Concurrently, she is pursuing dual clinical qualifications: additional training as a child and adolescent psychotherapist at Zentrum für seelische Gesundheit der Freien Universität Berlin (since 2023) and psychological psychotherapy certification in behavioral therapy at Humboldt University Berlin (since 2022).

Her academic foundation includes:

• Master of Science in Clinical Psychology from Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (2019-2021), thesis: "Von der Nützlichkeit eines interaktiven Forums für Brain Computer Interface Nutzende – Eine qualitative Interviewstudie"
• Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (2015-2019), thesis: "Ein Vergleich verschiedener Erfassungsmöglichkeiten von Rechtschreibkompetenz im Grundschulalter"
• Undergraduate exchange at University of New Mexico, USA (2017-2018)

Modde's research centers on gender identity development and dysphoria in youth, with significant contributions to trans and non-binary adolescent mental health through projects like DEXTRA (Daily Experiences of Trans Adolescents), TRANS*PARENT, and GenderJourney Youth Compass. Her work uniquely bridges clinical psychology with neurotechnology, particularly in Brain-Computer Interface applications and interprofessional education frameworks.

Publication analysis reveals an interdisciplinary trajectory: her 2025 BCI forum study demonstrates user-centered neurotechnology design principles, while the 2021 interprofessional education review establishes foundational models for collaborative psychology training. Both works exemplify her methodological versatility across qualitative, systematic review, and clinical intervention paradigms.

No scientific awards are documented in available records.

Modde currently contributes to the STARK project's development of adaptive reality therapy tools for children, though no student supervision roles are indicated. Her practical experience spans clinical placements at Fliedner Klinik Berlin (DBT unit) and PINEL Netzwerk, alongside research roles at Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin and University of Adelaide.

She operates within the Youth Advisory Board team at the University Outpatient Clinic, collaborating on gender identity research while participating in clinic partnerships focused on trans youth mental health services and parental support frameworks.
