Love Råman Vinnå was born and raised in Stockholm, Sweden. He enrolled at the Gothenburg university in the department of Marine Sciences in 2006. Here he obtained a Bachelor and Master’s degree in physical oceanography with the theses ”Geothermal Heating of Canada Basin Deep Water” and “Comparing Satellite Measurements of Sea Surface Temperature with FerryBox Data in Skagerrak and Kattegat”. During his studies he worked as a scientific and research assistant, among other things he performed fjord modelling for the Box-win project with the goal to artificially increase deep water renewal in the Baltic Sea.

In 2013 Love moved to Switzerland to start his PhD at EPFL in Lausanne at the Physics of Aquatic Systems Laboratory APHYS under Professor Alfred Johny Wüest. His thesis titled “Global and local anthropogenic effects on hydrodynamics of lakes - Applications to Lake Biel drinking water management” linked past, present, and future process in lakes to favorable location selection for drinking water intakes. After his examination, Love completed multiple postdoc projects at the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology, the Universities of Hong Kong, Neuchâtel, and Basel, where he investigated future climate impacts on lakes and rivers as well as ground water and river intrusions into lakes. Presently Love is at the Department of Environmental Sciences at the University of Basel. Here he works on the project “Future River temperatures in Switzerland under climate change”, a project he obtained funding for from the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN).
