My PhD was directed from numerical software into seismic exploration (fast estimation of the underground rock properties), so my expertise became tied to that industry. I wouldn't say *all* of academia, but DOE/DOD/oil funds a big chunk of non-ML computational science.
Well, any amount of funding by oil and gas interests in academia is too much. But it's a LOT. See this: "FRONT PAGE of @BostonGlobe: @MIT to rename climate science lecture hall the *Shell* Auditorium. (Seriously. This isn't @TheOnion.)"https://twitter.com/emahlee/status/1199038596025442304 …
We live in Orwellian times. War is peace. 2+2=5. @MIT renames climate science lecture hall 
SHELL Auditorium 
. I wish this were satire, but it isn't.

My original PhD research group did reservoir modeling and I still remember my jaw dropping when learning that, because NSF doesn't fund oil software, they used the same code to do carbon sequestration work to also access that funding.
