Research Interests: Jurčo’s work explores the mathematical foundations of higher gauge theory, including the development of non-Abelian gerbes and their role in string theory. His research also spans algebraic topology, differential geometry, and quantum field theory, with applications to theoretical physics.

Publication Trends: Over the last two decades, Jurčo’s publications have emphasized the classification and homotopy theory of non-Abelian bundle gerbes, the formulation of higher gauge theory in both differential and integral frameworks, and their implications for string theory and quantum field theory. His 2023 work on the mathematical foundations of higher gauge theory synthesizes these themes.
