In particular, he is known for his contributions to the study of [[P-adic Hodge theory#General classification of p-adic representations|p-adic representations]] and [[p-adic cohomology]]. Born in [[Vilnius]], [[Lithuania]] and raised from the age of five in [[Melbourne]], [[Australia]], he won a silver medal at the [[International Mathematical Olympiad]] in 1989<ref name="imo">{{cite web |url=https://www.imo-official.org/participant_r.aspx?id=1895 |title=Mark Kisin |publisher=[[International Mathematical Olympiad]] |access-date=September 7, 2020}}</ref> and received his B.Sc. from [[Monash University]] in 1991. He received his Ph.D. from [[Princeton University]] in 1998 under the direction of [[Nick Katz]].<ref>{{MathGenealogy|id=131465}}</ref> From 1998 to 2001 he was a Research Fellow at the [[University of Sydney]], after which he spent three years at the [[University of Münster]]. After six years at the [[University of Chicago]], Kisin took the post in 2009 of professor of mathematics at [[Harvard University]].<ref name=Harvard>{{cite web|url=http://www.fas.harvard.edu/home/news-and-notices/news/press-releases/kisin-05072009.shtml|title=Mark Kisin Named Professor of Mathematics at Harvard}}</ref> He was elected a [[Fellow of the Royal Society]] in 2008.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://royalsociety.org/about-us/fellowship/fellows/| title = Fellows of the Royal Society|publisher= Royal Society|accessdate = 2012-03-07}}</ref> He gave an [[list of International Congresses of Mathematicians Plenary and Invited Speakers|invited talk at the International Congress of Mathematicians]] in 2010, on the topic of "Number Theory".<ref>{{cite web|title=ICM Plenary and Invited Speakers since 1897| url=http://www.mathunion.org/db/ICM/Speakers/SortedByCongress.php|publisher=[[International Congress of Mathematicians]]}}</ref> In 2012 he became a fellow of the [[American Mathematical Society]].<ref>[https://www.ams.org/profession/fellows-list List of Fellows of the American Mathematical Society], retrieved 2013-01-27.</ref> He was elected to the [[American Academy of Arts and Sciences]] in 2022.
