He was a tutor in electro-magnetic theory (1965-66) at the Oxford College of Advanced Technology.

Dr. Edwards' husband, Dr. Donald Edwards, is with the Accelerator Theory Section at NAL and, at present, is mainly concerned with the control system of the accelerator. The Edwards reside in Elgin, Illinois.
