He has guided one Ph.D., fifteen M.Tech. and forty B.Tech. level students for their dissertations.

Dr. K. A. Subramanian is working as Professor and founder Head of the Department of Energy Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi, and former Head of the Centre for Energy Studies. After he completed his Ph.D. from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, IIT Madras, he worked as Scientist at the Indian Institute of Petroleum, Dehradun. He has published more than 75 research articles in international peer-reviewed journals. His main research area includes hydrogen energy, alternative-fueled internal combustion engines/vehicles, hydrogen backfire and combustion, hydrogen fuel cell, oxy-combustion, biofuels and engines, zero-emission vehicles, hybrid energy systems, and integrated energy systems. He is one among the top 2% scientist by Stanford University, 2020, 2021 and 2022, in the world. He recently developed the technology for the utilization of hydrogen in spark-ignition engines for electrical power generation, and dimethyl ether-fueled engines/vehicles with the collaboration of oil and original engine manufacturers. He has also developed alcohol-fueled engines, biogas vehicles, DME-fueled engines/vehicles, dual-fuel engines (hydrogen-diesel, CNG-diesel, biogas-diesel), and energy efficiency improvement using oxy-combustion. He developed many numbers of courses including hydrogen energy, zero-emission vehicles, bioenergy: resources, technologies and assessment, carbon capture and storage, and organic waste to energy conversion technology. He has guided several doctoral scholars and published several research papers in journals of national and international repute.
