Immense love

Hi,

I am trying to phrase a sentence that indicates my immense love for research.
Which one of the following looks good? Also, please provide better alternatives if possible

  1. I have an immense love for research.
  2. I have an irrational love for research.

Can you please tell me if there is any other sentence that is more relevant than the ones mentioned above?

In the context of research, I would avoid mentioning anything irrational. You can have a\an immense passion for research, but it still means you stick to the facts and won’t get carried away.

Agreed that ‘passion’ in that sentence is more appropriate than ‘love’. Not too happy with ‘immense’ and suggest ‘deep’ instead.
