Exclusive Breakfast Roundtable with Global Water Expert Sun Yan Evans

November 6th | 9:00 – 10:30 am

Mott MacDonald Suite 300, 325 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia PA 19106.  Parking next to Bourse Building, Building across from Carpenters Hall.

We are excited to offer a rare opportunity to engage with Sun Yan Evans, Mott MacDonald’s Global Technical Director for Hydrodynamic Modelling and Flood Resilience, during her brief visit to Philadelphia next week.  Sun Yan Evans is internationally recognised as a leading expert in flood risk and water quality modelling. As technical director, member of the Royal Academy of Engineering UK, and Mott MacDonald inaugural Fellow, she has led specialist teams and delivered pioneering projects across more than 25 countries.

Why This Matters:

With 30+ years at the forefront of water engineering, Sun Yan brings expertise from projects spanning the World Bank, IFC, European Bank, Environment Agency, and major infrastructure clients worldwide. Her work sits at the critical intersection of flood risk management, water quality modeling, and climate resilience—challenges we are grappling with throughout the Delaware River Basin.

What You’ll Gain:

This intimate roundtable offers direct access to insights on:

  • Innovative approaches to flood risk assessment and resilience measures
  • Power plant water quality modeling
  • Seawater cooling systems and thermal modeling
  • UK and international perspectives on nitrification standards and legislation
  • Real-world applications from coastal flood management to critical infrastructure protection
  • Dissolved Oxygen challenges

The Sun Yan Advantage:

Beyond her technical credentials, Sun Yan is a passionate advocate for collaborative problem-solving. She believes the best water resource decisions emerge from informed debate—not siloed expertise. This will be a chance for closed door dialogue with someone who has seen what works (and what does not) across continents and contexts.
