Dan Huttenlocher is pictured in a New York Times article on the top 10 U.S. hedge fund managers, and profiled in an article in the Financial Times. The latter piece delves into his personal research history and also highlights the efforts that went into designing his house in Ithaca ("“When I first built this house, I literally couldn’t work here because I would find myself staring out at the lake for three hours and not doing anything”), intertwining the narrative with that of the development of Cornell Tech.
