A mathematician writes topics of applied mathematics and others. A glance tells me that all postings are well written. Especially, compressed sensing and single pixel cameras drags my attention more because the topic stimulates thoughts of astronomers in virtual observatory[1] and image processing[2] (it is not an exaggeration that observational astronomy starts with taking pictures in a broad sense) and statisticians in multidimensional applications, not to mention engineers in signal and image processing.

A particular interest of mine from his post is that compressed sensing could resolves bandwidth problems in astronomy and consequential sequential analysis on astronomical data (streaming data analysis). Overall, his list of applications at the end may enlighten scientists probing the sky with different waveband telescopes.
