The astronomers started to explore the universe with the multi-messenger since the 21st century. Studies of the gravitational wave (GW) play an important role and became popular in multi-messenger astronomy. In this talk, I will simply introduce the role of GW in multi-messenger astronomy and then introduce the basic contents of GW including the design to detect it, the projects of the ground-based observatories, the Taiwanese team involved in these projects and my cooperative studies related to these projects. The novel timing algorithm is the key to resolve the GW signal from the noisy data so I will also introduce these timing methods. In addition, searches of GW do not only depend on a good timing algorithm but also on an efficient pipeline, which is based on the artificial intelligence/deep learning. I will also demonstrate some preliminary results obtained from my cooperative studies. Now the open science center also provides lots of archival data obtained from LIGO-Virgo and as well as the KAGRA, and more manpower and computing resources are required to update our understanding of the universe to the next stage.
