As far as i know not possible, there is no start event that allow to start based on some conditions of calculated date field. you can still manage to do a use a Conditional Start Event that check if today date is greater then your date field then send email. however this will be a loop and will be sending the email everytime the update takes place and condition is meet.

i would suggest to add a boolean field on your entity e.g isEmailSent so when you send the email you can set this field to be true and on start event add this condition isEmailSent is false + today is greater than your date field. this will help resolve issue of the loop and the workflow will trigger only when condition is meet.
