Recognized among Australia’s Top 250 Researchers in 2026 and ranking first nationally in Dispersion Chemistry, with an h-index of 60, his scholarly output exceeds 200 publications. Key works include “Highly Dispersible and Crystalline Microalgal Nanocellulose Extracted Using a Low Environmental Impact Process” (2026, ACS Sustainable Resource Management), “High‑protein bovine yogurt: where do traditional structure–function principles need to adapt or apply?” (2026, Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety), and several 2025 papers on plant-based meat analogues and juiciness perception in Food Structure and Food Hydrocolloids. Stokes’ contributions have profoundly influenced the design of next-generation food products, enhancing efficiency, minimizing waste, and bolstering Australia’s food manufacturing sector.
