Wiesława Krystyna Nizioł is a Polish mathematician associated with the École normale supérieure de Lyon. Her research concerns arithmetic algebraic geometry, and in particular p-adic Hodge theory, Galois representations, and p-adic cohomology.
Nizioł earned an M.S. in computer science from the University of Warsaw in 1984. After beginning doctoral studies in computer science at Stanford University, she switched to mathematics, and received her Ph.D. in 1991 from Princeton University under the supervision of Gerd Faltings. She was employed as an assistant professor at the University of Warsaw from 1984 to 1988; after obtaining her Ph.D. she held temporary positions at Harvard University, the University of Chicago and University of Minnesota before joining the University of Utah in 1996. She has also held visiting positions at many institutions.
She was an invited speaker at the 2006 International Congress of Mathematicians, with a talk entitled "p-adic motivic cohomology in arithmetic".
